The Coburn Gallery at Ashland University will host the National Collage Society’s 38th Annual Juried Exhibition, which features 70 works by 62 artists from across 32 states and 4 countries. The exhibition will open with a reception on Thursday, October 27, from 4:30-6:30pm. The reception is free and open to the public.
The National Collage Society, Inc. (NCS) was founded in 1982 by Gretchen Bierbaum. It is incorporated in Ohio with a dedicated Board of Directors. A non-profit classification was granted with a Federal ID.
Each year the NCS holds two exhibits, a member small format show in the spring and a juried exhibit in the fall. The two annual NCS exhibits average 40 states represented and 7 countries.
The goal of the National Collage Society is to foster the appreciation and interest in the recognized medium of collage. Collage has only been identified and defined during the twentieth century. The NCS, Inc. advances the stature of collage as a major art medium and assists in the public education through exhibits and workshops, lectures and publications.
The National Collage Society’s 38th Annual Juried Exhibition will run from October 27 through November 19. The gallery is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 12 noon to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday and is free and open to the public.
